In 2020, I founded the start-up 'Cane Technologies' in NZ with 3 other year 13 students.
We aimed to empower the Blind, Low Vision and Visually Impaired of New Zealand with the power to to independently navigate unknown and ambiguous areas with confidence. We began producing a wearable pair of IOT Smart-glasses that pair with existing navigational apps to provide audio navigation to the user through bone conduction. My roles involved the 3D prototyping of our glasses which can be seen in the above video, as well as creating the logo, business cards, website, email signatures etc.
Other than design work, we also learnt the fundamentals of running an engineering/technology business and ended up receiving the 'Excellence in Perseverance' award from the Young Enterprise Scheme, and were regional finalists for top regional business.
